Although this book is aimed more at C/C++ game developers, the techniques you're looking for are all described with glorious detail in: "Game Programming Gems". http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1584500492/qid=968779132/sr=1-1/103-1 441459-2867041 You may also want to browse the sites www.gamasutra.com as well as www.flipcode.com -Blake -----Original Message----- From: sam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2000 5:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: <lingo-l> online game Dear peeps, We are about to start production of a game for delivery over the Internet. This game will have three characters and will feature sound fairly heavily. Does anyone have any general production tips / tried and tested routines for collision detection, character control (including swapping the char out when jumping / crouching), tips when integrating Flash sprites (is this the best way??), sound control (we plan on using Beatnik) etc. etc. Additionally, will it make any difference to the size if on choosing a character a marker is jumped to instead of exchanging sprites and sounds dynamically? Finally, when using the standard Shockwave sound device (in another project), can anyone shed any light as to why (using puppetSound (on channel 1) and a looping sound) the sound just stops at arbitrary moments when playing back in a browser. N.B. only tested in Windows NT Thanks for any help with all this stuff, Regards, Sam and the Elektonika team.
